Yeah, this is going to have to wait until I can either get someone to power cycle the computer or I get back into town, whichever comes first. I apologize for the downtime but I'm on vacation right now and can't do it myself.

So it looks like the server machine was turned off. I suspect the reason was that power was cycled in the building. In any case, QBDB is back up; I will try to add recent tournaments like Sun-n-Fun and CO in the next few weeks.

So after a careful 5 minute analysis, I've determined that the server runs fine but for some reason the school network hates it and won't allow it access to the outside world, nor will it allow other computers from outside the Brown physics network to contact it. My guess is that since I'm technically not supposed to be running personal servers off the school network, they've finally found it and blacklisted it or something. I'm going to move the server to my house instead, where I should not run into any such problems.

I'm pleased to announce that qbdb has relocated to a more or less permanent home. You can now find it at http://qbdb.grapesmoker.com. Let me know if there are any problems viewing the site; I believe all the paths should have been changed, but if I missed something please email me.

He may have created St. Francis Giving His Mantle to a Poor Man and other frescoes of Upper Church at Assisi. The first painter to be appointed head of Florence Cathedral workshop, he created the frescos on St. Francis, St. John the Baptist and St. John the Evangelist at Santa Croce of Florence, and also the throned Ognissanti Madonna. Producing rounded, solid figures in depthless backgrounds, he is best known for the frescoes Christ Entering Jerusalem, Ascension, and Lamentation found in a chapel in Padua.

Yeah, I'll get in touch with you in a few days.

Any chance on making this publicly available? I have a couple of ideas using qb data that I'll in all likelihood never get around to doing, but today happens to be a day when my delusions make me think that I might actually get around to them.

QBDB appears to be having a few issues again; on some searches all the ACF Fall questions come up under ACF Fall 2006, for example. I was also surprised to find that "The Entertainer" was composed by Great Zimbabwe (do not accept Zimbabwe).

(among other such humorous answers and questions missing answers)

Yeah, some of those things were probably entered incorrectly and I just haven't had time to fix them. One thing I'll be doing in the near future will be an overhaul of the system (yet again) so hopefully I'll fix those issues when I do that.
